For one local the New Year started with a stark reminder that walking your dog can be an expensive exercise.
Whilst out walking the pooch and as the rest of the family slept, a robber took advantage of an unlocked back door on the verandah, scaling a padlocked gate to do so, and helped themselves to computer, back-up hard drive, accessories, software, 2 wallets and a handbag. Whilst the handbag was located and returned 3 weeks later having been found in Morisset bushland, the loss of the computer with company records has been irreplaceable.
A common local response has been ‘we always leave a door unlocked when we go for a walk". Don't risk it. Lock your doors. Evidently it is not uncommon to be robbed whilst walking the dog - no dog, no barking! The lesson learnt …Get an extra key cut and clip it on your doggy bag, then lock all doors and windows before leaving the house!
